Sony Ericsson 2011 Results: Poor Performance

Sony Ericsson published the financial summary for the fourth quarter and the full year 2011. Sadly, the results show extremly bad performance when compared to the other giants in the market.

Reading through the report and analyzing it we understand that the company sold 43.1 million phones in 2010 but the sales dipped to 34.4 million phones in 2011. The sales ended with a net revenue of €1,528 million in Q4 2010 but the case was different last year; ie the sales ended with a net revenue of only €1288 million in Q4 2011, a 16% drop versus Q4 2010. Drastically, the company ended the year with a net loss of €247 million.

The most appropriate person to comment on this disappointing performance of the company would be Bert Nordberg, President and CEO of Sony Ericsson. I’ll post his comment:

“Our fourth quarter results reflected intense competition, unfavorable macroeconomic conditions and the effects of a natural disaster in Thailand this quarter. We are aligning our business to drive profitability and to meet customer needs. In spite of these challenges, throughout 2011 we’ve shifted our business from feature phones to smartphones, and our Android-based smartphone sales in the quarter increased by 65% year-on-year. The Xperia portfolio, including the recently announced Xperia NXT series, will serve as a cornerstone of our smartphone lineup in 2012″

He blames the intense competition, unfavorable economic conditions and floods in Thailand as the reasons for the company’s loss. He also confirms that the company will be focusing on to Androids in the coming year and hopes that would boost the sales.

Also, Sony’s reputation in the global market is a blessing and lets see how they handle the smartphone section (Sony Mobile Communications) in 2012.

Design, Size, Weight, Screen are flawless. I couldn’t say anything else, because I was surely impressed on how much Nokia put thought into this device. Speed for me is just fine; some have complained about its RAM and processor, frankly I would tell them they have no idea about computer mechanics. There is something they haven’t noticed and people like me would pay top dollars for. That is the NO FAN option, finally can sit in bed and not disturb anyone with the whizzing sound of the cooling fan. Plus what more can you ask from a netbook, use it as it was design and supposed to be used so just plug in a 2GB Flash drive and use it as a ReadyBoost or have you totally forgot about that?. Coming back to the essential elements of this device, using the 3G gave me the ability to sit where and when ever I want. No Dongles, Bluetooth, or Cable connections required. Power on and connect, simply amazing feeling you’ve got knowing you can get what you want in no time. The Nokia Booklet 3G is such a good device that I know use it as my own corporate computer device. Called in IT and asked them to remove my bulky laptop back it up on the local network so I could access it on my booklet. My desk is so clean right now it’s not even funny. I put this device to the ultimate test on the first day of work, dropped my notebook pens and every manual item you can possibly take to a meeting. Fired up OneNote, held a 3 hour meeting took all the notes I needed on my Booklet, attached pictures from my N900 and I was the first one out of the door. Didn’t have to gather all my papers, put together my laptop disconnect my charger, and wind up all sorts of wires. The best part I even leave quicker, All I’ve got is my Booklet and I’m out, charger is at home.
